“As long as justice is postponed we always stand on the verge of these darker nights of social disruption”...so said Martin Luther King Jr. in a speech on March 14, 1968, just three weeks before he was assassinated.

A mysterious white object in NASA launch footage has brought some rumblings in the UFO community. Many believe it is an extra-terrestrial craft that has been orbiting the Earth secretly for thousands of years.

The unusual white object has been spotted in a NASA shuttle launch’s archive footage that happened in 2011.

Many UFO hunters around the internet are claiming it is evidence of an alien craft.

The shimmery white aerial thing can be seen in the clouds. Alongside of it is the discarded fuel tank from the space shuttle Endeavour after it blasts off in May 2011 for its final mission.

The old footage was originally posted on the official YouTube channel of NASA. UFO enthusiasts dug it up and re-examined it. It was uploaded again to the channel UFO Today, which is dedicated everything about UFO phenomena.

The channel suggests that the strange object is the White Knight Satellite, an extra-terrestrial craft that has been secretly orbiting our planet for thousands of years, but it has never been confirmed at least scientifically.

NASA has always expressed a dim view of these kinds of conspiracy theories, and it appears that the agency does not think humanity will make contact with extra terrestrials sooner rather than later. The discovery of alien life may only be a couple of decades away, according to the co-lead of the NExSS project of NASA at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, Tony del Genio.

Del Genio thinks that in two decades, humanity will have discovered one candidate of alien life. He recognises that extra-terrestrial life may well exist in places and forms so bizarre that it might be very different from Earth.

The Black Knight Satellite 2017 new information

Black Knightalso known as the Black Knight satellite is an alleged object orbiting Earth in near-polar orbit that ufologists and fringe authors believe is approximately 13,000 years old and of extraterrestrial origin. However it is most probable that Black Knight is the result of a conflation of a number of unrelated stories.[1]
Stories[edit]
Fringe authors claim that there is a connection between long delayed echos and reports that Nikola Tesla picked up a repeating radio signal in 1899 which he believed was coming from space. The satellite explanation originated in 1954 when newspapers including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and the San Francisco Examiner ran stories attributed to retired naval aviation major and UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe saying that the US Air Force had reported that two satellites orbiting the Earth had been detected. At this time no man-made satellites had been launched.[2]
In February 1960 there was a further report that the US Navy had detected a dark, tumbling object in an orbit inclined at 79° from the equator with an orbital period of 104.5 minutes. Its orbit was also highly eccentric with an apogee of 1,728 km (1,074 mi) and a perigee of only 216 km (134 mi). At the time the Navy was tracking a fragment of casing from the Discoverer VIII satellite launch which had a very similar orbit. The dark object was later confirmed to be another part of this casing that had been presumed lost.[2][3]
In 1973 the Scottish writer Duncan Lunan analyzed the data from the Norwegian radio researchers, coming to the conclusion that they produced a star chart pointing the way to Epsilon Boötis, a double star in the constellation of Boötes. Lunan's hypothesis was that these signals were being transmitted from a 12,600 year old object located at one of Earth's Lagrangian points. Lunan later found that his analysis had been based on flawed data and withdrew it, and at no time did he associate it with the unidentified orbiting object.[4]
An object photographed in 1998 during the STS-88 mission has been widely claimed to be this "alien artifact". However, it is more probable that the photographs are of a thermal blanket that had been lost during an EVA.[1] Alternatively, people analyzing these pictures have suggested that it could be the Pakal Spacecraft, a supposed Mayan spacecraft written about by controversial pseudoarchiological author Erich von Däniken.[5]
